Have you officially resided in New York State but outside of Onondaga County in the past year? You may be able to reduce your tuition!
By giving us your Certificate of Residence you can qualify for our lower In-State (Resident) tuition rate.
- Many counties have their own Certificate of Residence Affidavit and Application. Look up your home county Chief Financial Officer / County Treasurer and complete their Certificate of Residence Affidavit and Application.
- Otherwise, use this:
- At your home county office, ask them to notarize your application and submit it to them.
- They will then provide you with your Certificate of Residence.
- Send your Certificate of Residence to the OCC Student Accounts Office before registering, or bring it with you when you register.
